Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s announcement about Tylenol and autism will have tons of negative implications for women's health. But it will also return society to when people blamed unloving mothers–aka "refrigerator mothers– for their autism.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., continues to sow discord and disinformation about autism and characterize autistic people like me as nothing but burdens.

I see a ton about long covid from legitimate, scientific sources that if it was even remotely true would have apocalyptic implications, everyone’s heart, lungs, and brain failing at once, and I can’t square it with the world I actually observe every day.

BREAKING: While boasting on Fox News about her efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, Linda McMahon couldn’t even explain what the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is. This is the person trying to destroy education in America. Let that sink in.

Michigan’s special education system continues to fail Black students w/ disabilities. 👉1 in 4 Black boys and 1 in 5 Black girls w/ disabilities face suspensions. 👉Only 57% graduate high school vs. 74.6% nondisabled peers. https://t.co/lmVr20Eida @MIChronicle #MiSEEsurvey
